EP. 4 James Yurichuk - From Football to Luxury Outerwear - a podcast by TBX Digital Inc.

In this week's episode, I had the privilege of chatting with James Yurichuck, a Brampton, Ontario native, and founder and CEO of Wuxly Movement, 100% Canadian made outwerwear, which is biodegradable, animal friendly, and vegan approved parkas and jackets.  

As a founder and CEO, James bootstrapped Wuxly while playing football in 2015 and has now grown it into a multi-million dollar business in a matter of years. He has recently led a huge initiative in leading manufacturing and production of PPE - reusable medical gowns to aid in the fight against COVID-19, from their Toronto manufacturing facility.  

As a football player, James was drafted 4th overall by the BC Lions in 2009 as a linebacker, and had a very successful career with the BC Lions and the Toronto Argonauts. He played for 8 seasons with over 140 games, winning a Grey Cup in 2011, and also won the Jake Goodaur Trophy in 2014.  

 In the 14+ years that I have known James he is a very humble, hardworking, and one of the most helpful and honest human beings I have seen. And that is something that his team values the most from his leadership.You can check out his company at Wuxly.com, and follow them on Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn @wuxlymovement
